Thai Chicken Burgers
Ingredients
For the burgers:
4 chicken fillets
2 bird’s-eye red chillies, chopped
1 tsp peeled and finely grated galangal
1 tsp finely chopped lemongrass
2 spring onions, finely chopped
15g coriander, including stalks, chopped
1 lime, zest of half and juice
2 tbsp vegetable oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the sauce:
55g honey
20ml water
½ tsp crushed dried chilli flakes
In a medium bowl mix together the galangal, lemongrass, spring onion, coriander, lime zest and juice. Season.
In a food processor blend together the chicken and chilli.
Add the galangal mixture to the chicken and blend again until just combined.
Carefully remove the mixture from the processor, divide into eight potions and shape each portion into a burger.
In a small saucepan mix together the honey, water and chillies, then place over a low heat and cook until a syrup forms.
Heat the oil in a medium frying pan.
Fry the cakes in the oil for 2-3 minutes each side or until cooked through and golden.
Serve the cakes with the dipping sauce in a separate dish to the side.
